Well I got the old you didn't prime it and you over revved it excuse witch is not true I was also told you don't need the spacers the springs are fine and there not even available from comp cams. I primed the motor with my cordless drill with a mechanical drill on it and then again hooked up to the gauge on the dash. I started it and shut it down in less then a min looked it over and started it again to find
oil poring out the cam plug in the back of the motor. So after pulling the trans bell clutch and flywheel I fixed the little leaky plug (no big deal happens to the best of us) I primed it again to make sure the plug was ok and not leaking and then decided to pull the valve cover off to see if I had
oil on the top end and that's when I found all this.
I guy agreed to fix it and dyno it for my customer but gave me a hard time about the rocker shaft bolts spacers endcaps rod resizing and block decking. I told him I had to take the heads of to get this back in the car so I will know if he did what he was asked to do. I already have it in my head to make the improvements when I go to reinstall the motor. Our lawyer felt it best to give him the chance to make it right and if he was a reasonable person about it we were best to let him. I am not feeling all warm and fuzzy about it but it was my customers end call. I am sure this is far from over and I am sure I will be burdened with the task of cleaning up the mess. I was also told two weeks we waited over 8 months the last time so we will see. I have one more turn key cobra to do and that will be my last that one I will go with ford racing for the motor or do it totally myself.
